Prabhupada, Bombay, February 23, 1971: […] Perfect knowledge will be given from the Bhagavad-gita, the standard book for spiritual science, or science of God, Bhagavad-gita As It Is.
It is clearly stated… We are searching after God. Sometimes we question, “Where is God? Can you show me God?” Bhagavad-gita has given clear explanation how we can see God in everything. Just like Krishna says, raso ’ham apsu kaunteya prabhasmi sasi-suryayoh. “I am the taste of the water.” When we drink water, we feel very much satisfied. The taste of water is so nice.
Krishna says, “I am that taste.” Now, if you are drinking daily water and you are tasting it, so how you can say that you have not seen God? If you have tasted that water, then you have seen God. Prabhasmi sasi-suryayoh: “I am the shining principle of sun and the moon.”
You are seeing every day the sunshine and the moonshine. How you can say that you have not seen God? So this is the science of God, how to see Him.
Just like when there is smoke, you can understand that there is fire, although the fire is hidden, similarly, by the symptoms, how God is acting, how His energies are spread all over the world, if you study the energy of God, then you can see God, you can feel God, you can associate with God, and you become godly, or purified.
